Help Froyo 2.2 does NOT fix 3G drop issues.

I live in Miami, certainly a big enough city to have a good 3g signal. But in and around my home I go from 3g to 1x and back. However, I went to Disney World last week in Orlando and I had a solid 4 bars of 3g continually. Therfore,I believe this is more of a Verizon problem than a Motorola problem. I think maybe we believe too much in the Verizon marketing machine about how good their 3g coverage is. I have complained to Verizon. They tell me that they will check into it and get back to me, but they never do.

My 3G appears to be better. It seems that I get faster speeds in certain areas actually. At my apartment I usually got close to 200KB/s DL, (high 100s) with the speedtest.net app, but now I rarely see below 250. I used to constantly go back and forth between 1X and 3G, but now I mostly just see 3G.

I had a rooted 2.1 DX that I updated to an OTA 2.2. I rooted via D2 method and manually deodexed immediately after.
